Im having some kinda squilling noise when I press in the clutch on my ktm 450 xc Its a new quad right off the show room floor. Could it be out of adjustment or anything in that nature? The fluid levels are good so its not that?

Its normal especially when the motor is cold after a few oil changes and break in it should happen less and go away.
Mine has about 120 hrs on it and still does it every now and then

:ermm: Mine does the same thing every once and a while. But it only started 2 weekends ago when i was riding when it was raining pretty hard so i think it might b the brakes but pbly not b/c the brakes squelling makes a different sound. But like allot of people are saying it is no big deal.

mine does it if im riding hard for a few hours. But we also have a very tight track set up, so we are on and off the clutch all the time. I remember the KTM bikes that was always an issue. Must just be the materials they use in the clutch. Just like there weird brake pads
